Scientists Reveal Why Jupiter and Saturn’s Polar Weather Looks So Different
Although Jupiter and Saturn are similar gas giants, their polar weather patterns are strikingly different. Saturn hosts a single, massive hexagonal storm at its north pole, while Jupiter features a central cyclone surrounded by smaller vortices. New simulations suggest the contrast may arise from differences deep inside the planets. A denser, “ha...

Astronomers Measure Mass and Distance of a Rogue Planet for the First Time in History
Astronomers have measured the mass and distance of a rogue planet for the first time. Using observations from Earth and the Gaia space telescope, the planet was found to be just under Saturn’s mass and about 10,000 light-years away. The study highlights how free-floating planets are ejected from star systems and improves understanding of planetar...
